The perfect weeknight meal, these Chicken Fajitas only take 30 minutes to cook! Perfectly seared chicken with bell peppers and onions all made in one pan!
INGREDIENTS
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
- 2 lime
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1½ teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts 2 to 3 pieces
- 1 onion sliced
- 3 bell peppers seeded and sliced into strips
To serve
- tortillas
- sour cream
- lime wedges
DIRECTIONS
- In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of oil and the zest and juice of the limes. Add the cumin, chili powder, salt, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, and black pepper. Stir to form a paste. Add the chicken breasts and toss to coat.
- Heat remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until brown on both sides and cooked through, about 8 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
- Add the onion. Cook, stirring frequently until starting to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add the bell peppers. Cook, stirring frequently, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
- While peppers cook, slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. Stir the chicken into the vegetable mixture. (If your chicken was undercooked when sliced, cook for a few minutes.) Remove from the heat and serve immediately with tortillas and toppings.
